Safeguarding


Safeguarding is everybody's responsibility.

All young people have the right to be safe and enjoy their hockey. We all have a duty to safeguard and protect young people from harm. All hockey clubs/organisations must have policies and procedures in place to create a safe environment.

Milton Keynes Hockey club adopts England Hockey's Safeguarding Young People in Hockey Policy and Procedures and guidance to ensure that all those in the hockey family have a safe and positive experience.

The policy can be found on the England Hockey website:
